Graphics / Problems using image.LoadFromFile

« on: November 24, 2008, 02:00:10 pm »

I launch it using the Run button of CodeBlocks, but I will try starting the exe directly.

/e: Just tested and it works perfect      Thank you for your help.

Graphics / Problems using image.LoadFromFile

« on: November 24, 2008, 01:44:41 pm »

Hi at all,
I'm new to SFML and trying to make a small Pong game with it.

There is only one problem:
I try to load an Image this way:

Code: [Select]

sf::Image image;
if(!image.LoadFromFile("test.png"))
   return EXIT_FAILURE;
But LoadFromFile always returns false and the program exits with
Failed to load image "test.png". Reason: can't fopen

Now I tried

Code: [Select]

if(!image.LoadFromFile("/test.png"))
if(!image.LoadFromFile("./test.png"))
but this doesn't work, too.
The picture is definitely in the same folder as the exe.

Finally I tried this:

Code: [Select]

sf::Image image;
if(!image.LoadFromFile("C:/test/test.png"))
   return EXIT_FAILURE;
So an absolute path works, but not a relative path.

The samples and the tutorials use relative paths and I could not find a solution to this problem in the forum and using google.
Now I would like to ask if this is a "bug" or a "feature" :wink:.

PS: Sorry for bad English, but I'm German and not very good in languages.
